Vanguard: Saga of Heroes Q&A

The Vanguard Ranger has posted a Q&A with Sigil Games' Darrin McPherson, quizzing the senior game designer about the Ranger class in Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. A snip:
Q: The role of the ranger has varied a lot through the years. From computer games, pen and paper RPGs, to famous rangers in literature. What can you compare Vanguard's ranger to that players may be familiar with?

A: The Vanguard Ranger is the ranger of tradition. A mix of Drizzt and Legolas, if you will. They excel at martial and ranged combat equally. Players may have a preference of style, but there will be times when one of the two is more appropriate. They are also closely tied to nature and will have the abilities to match those ties.
